Christian Wilkins is yet to practice with the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason. The defensive tackle suffered a season-ending foot injury in October, but there is still no timescale on his return.
On Wednesday, Raiders coach Pete Carroll offered a concerning update on Wilkins' injury.
"Every day he's here early, working hard, but we’re still working," Carroll said. "He's not ready to get back out. We're in the midst of a long, challenging process. Fortunately, there's a lot of time, and we're going to take every bit of it. We've really tried to be really diligent in the way we've worked it and the way we've wanted it and all that, and he's been on board the whole time. But it has been challenging."
